   None of the other examples you gave require anywhere near the level   
   of cognitive attention that a phone conversation does.   
      
   These days, fiddling with the radio doesn't require taking ones eyes   
   off the road. Neither does eating. Putting on makeup is dumb because   
   it does require looking in the mirror.
